I asked a member of the Nation Of Islam just where is the tribe of Shabazz and where did the founder of the group Wallace D. Fard came from?

Answer: When the moon broke off from the earth 66 trillion years ago the tribe of Shabazz was formed. Fard is from Mecca.

Unfortunately, these two answers are not correct. Minister Khaalis said Fard spent time in prison for raping a white girl. The NOI murdered Khaalis whole family for his revealtions. Khaalis now is doing life in prison. The truth was Fard was from Pakistan and Shabazz too.

When Alex Haley was digging deep for his Roots, which was inspired by Malcolm X friendship with Haley, a key word of the name of a musical instrument lead him to his hometown and homecoming in Africa. Whats in a name? A whole hell of a lot.

1. Shabazz comes from the famous Lal Shahbaz Qalander mosque in Pakistan. Fard had poor language skills and misspelled Shahbaz as Shabazz. No place on earth called Shabazz before Fard invented it except for Shahbaz.

2.Fard renames Elijah brother Kallat a small town in Pakistan. Kallat is a name of many men in Pakistan. All web, google searches links name with Pakistan.

3. Fard changed his name to Ghulam Ali, a commonly used name in Pakistan.

I'm still getting how you come to the "solid" conclusion that Fard is from Pakistan. I believe Wesley Muhammad spoke on Fard coming from a New Zealand/Pakistan background in a couple of his lectures. He's obtained FBI documents that state that that Fard Muhammad couldn't conclusively be identified as the Fard Muhammad that taught Elijah Muhammad. To be honest there still is a lot of mystery around where this man came from and where he went. To be fair I think it is important to look at multiple viewpoints on this man, since there is so much mystery and controversy that surrounds him.

The true origins of W. D. Fard remain mired in obscurity. In contrast to Fard’s story, Karl Evanzz, noted NOI authority and author of The Messenger: The Rise and Fall of Elijah Muhammad, has argued that Fard was born Wali Dodd Fard in New Zealand in 1893. His parents were Zared Fard (a New Zealander whose parents were from an area of East India that eventually became Pakistan) and Beatrice (of New Zealand’s minority British population).

Evanzz believes that Fard immigrated to the United States via Canada in 1913. He earned his living at various times as a restaurateur, gambler, bootlegger and traveling salesman. Before arriving in Detroit in 1930, under the alias of David Ford, he attained a high rank in the Moorish Science Temple, a vaguely Islam-like religion that disbanded that same year. Evanzz reported that Wallace D. Fard died in Chicago in 1971 at the age of 78.

To further muddy the waters, C.E. Lincoln, author of The Black Muslims in America, originally published in 1961, recounted a legend that described Fard as the black Jamaican son of a Syrian Moslem. Another story described Fard as Palestinian.

On the other hand, in a speech made on April 1, 2001, titled “The Greatness of Master Fard Muhammad,” the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan reiterated Fard’s origins in the Holy City of Mecca, and referred to him as the “Mahdi,” a man absolutely guided by God in the Islam faith. Farrakhan referred to the knowledge that Fard passed onto the NOI as “actual facts.” (The speech is at the Nation’s Web site at www.noi.org.)

It is important to realize that Farrakhan is the current leader of one of two main NOI factions that emerged after the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s death on Feb. 24, 1975. Two days later, Elijah Muhammad’s son, Wallace Muhammad, was named leader of the NOI, and quickly distanced himself from certain aspects of his father’s teachings — most notably those denouncing whites as devils. Farrakhan, a high-ranking member of NOI at the time of Elijah Muhammad’s death, became disillusioned with the new direction and quit the NOI in 1978. After Wallace had renamed the group the World Community of Al-Islam (one of many name changes to follow), Farrakhan was able to reconstitute the NOI under his own auspices in 1979.

Via e-mail, I asked Claude Andrew Clegg III, author of another Elijah Muhammad biography, An Original Man, to give me his take on the controversy. Clegg, a history professor at the University of Indiana at Bloomington, responded: “The version of the story that characterizes Fard as being of Pakistani descent and having a criminal background seems to have some validity, though neither allegation has been conclusively proven. What seems most remarkable is that Fard seems to have utterly disappeared from the government’s (especially the FBI’s) radar after leaving Detroit in 1933. There were rumors about his whereabouts until the 1990s, when some believed he was still alive and living somewhere in California. Whatever the case, Fard was a master at remaking himself and was apparently a very charismatic man. Also, in many ways, the Nation of Islam’s depiction of him as God could only work and be credible to potential members if his origins remained obscure and his disappearance permanent.”

Obviously, there are some major differences of opinion here. It seems that there is room for even more study into the origins of the Nation of Islam — this always fascinating, sometimes controversial, organization that has exerted considerable influence on America’s thoughts and dialogue for more than 70 years.

IOL: When Wali Fard Muhammad first came out, he was thought of being a messiah for Jews and of being the Mahdi for Shiites, then he passed away. Obviously, he turned out to be neither. Did that affect the movement itself? Did it make the movement go a step back?

Walker: We do not know the origin of Wali Fard Muhammad. He looked something like a white man. There are two hypotheses: One of them is that he was an Indian, his father migrated to New Zealand. Wali Fard Muhammad's father came from the province of Sindh, Pakistan, which is one of the centers of Ismaili preaching in the Indian subcontinent. Some scholars believe that Wali Fard Muhammad was an Ismaili Muslim; others believe that he might have been the son of two Druze migrants — a man and a woman — who migrated from Palestine or Lebanon or Syria to the US.

My own research shows as a historical fact that there were many Druze as well as Sunni Muslims in Detroit, which is where the movement started. The Druze influence on their [NOI's] ideas could have come by the Druze having already influenced those blacks who embraced the teachings of Wali Fard Muhammad, and the latter could have adjusted his teachings to Druze ideas. But there is quite a good deal of similarity between the NOI ideas and those of the Gholat Al-Shi`a — or the outer fringes of Shiism.

The atmosphere of the movement is a bit Shiite. Wali Fard Muhammad, like the 12th imam in Ithna Ashri [Twelvers] Islam, disappeared, then he was raised up to a god. This seems recognizable in Shiism and in Druzism. Also, in the teachings according to Farrakhan, Elijah Muhammad never really died; there was a plot to kill him but God delivered him from it and raised him up in the heavens to the great mother ship that circles the earth and might sometime in the future destroy white humanity. This again is similar to Shiism.

Fard vs. Einstein (a meeting on a radio show in 1933 in Detroit, from a book called "religion in brief" still trying to be authenticated)

"Actual Excerpt taken from station W.C.N.B. in Detroit, 1933. Religion in Brief. --Guest speakers tonight include Mr. Wallace Fard and world known mathematician, Mr. Albert Einstein."

(Announcer, Mr. Brandon): Gentlemen, it is a great pleasure to have you two here tonight as guest on Religion in Brief. It serves us here at station W.C.N.B., as well as the public, as a great opportunity to get a chance to probe in activities and lifestyles, philosophies and religious outlooks of you two gentlemen who are contributing much energy to certain sections of our nation. Mr. Einstein, to our scientific advancement in the Principles of Relativity; and Mr. Fard to the minority of our nation with what I've heard you say on many occasions in the past "Knowledge of Self". Mr. Einstein, could you give our listeners a brief run down on yourself?

(MR. EINSTEIN): Yes, I'd be glad to. First, I'd like to say thank you Mr. Brandon for inviting me on your show tonight. I feel comfortable and it is a pleasure to be here. At this stage of my work, I am involved in certain experiments, which covers the scope of "Atomic enlightenment" as well as developments for this country, in case of nuclear warfare. Second, Mr. Brandon, they refer me as being a scientist, opening up new channels to the principles of relativity. Now I say, my work includes the science of matter and energy, and of the interaction between the two. Thus, I would rather be known to the world as a theoretical physicist in the mathematical view of relativity.

(Mr. Brandon): Very interesting. Mr. Fard, could you give the listeners a brief run down on yourself?

(W.F. MUHAMMAD): Salaam-Alaikum. For you, Mr. Brandon, Mr. Einstein and the listeners elsewhere and abroad. My Attribute is Fard Muhammad Ibn Alfonso. I extend my thanks first to Allah, God, for enabling me to be here tonight. Your offer, Mr. Brandon, is greatly appreciated by me, may Allah bless you. a little about myself: I am SON OF MAN, as it is written; Seeking to Save that which was Lost, and Restore again that which has gone astray.

(MR. BRANDON): Thank you gentlemen. We'll be right back in 60 seconds.

(MR. MUHAMMAD): For years now people have been asking me questions about my theory of religion, Truth, Islam, Allah, etc., etc...People who have attended my lectures throughout Illinois, Michigan and some in L.A...but you see, Mr. Brandon, 95% of the population have made religion and Truth something permanent, and is religion and Truth permanent? If it is, then it is continuous, and what is continuous is not Truth. That is the beauty of Truth: It must be discovered from moment to moment, not remembered. A remembered truth is a dead thing. Truth must be discovered from moment, because it is living. It is never the same; yet each time you discover it, it is the same. What is important is not to make a theory of Truth, not to say Truth is permanent in us and all the rest is an invention of the old who are frightened of both life and death. It is the Skunk Race, who are decaying, and their philosophies have no validity. The fact is that Truth is Life, and has no permanency. It cannot be taken for granted that you know life. Your amusement and your thinking process; that dull, repetitive process, is not life, nor Truth, neither religion.

(MR. BRANDON): Mr. Muhammad, I'm sure me, as well as our listeners have a lot of questions concerning that last statement you made. So let me begin with this: You said Truth is not permanent, nor is it continuous; then how can it be infinite, if it does not possess those two qualities?

(MR. MUHAMMAD): Life is something to be discovered. You cannot discover it if you have not lost it; if you put aside the things that you have found. Do an experiment with what I am saying. Put aside your philosophies, your religion, your customs, you racial taboos, and all the rest of it; for they are not life. If you are caught in those things you will never discover life; and the function of education (knowledge) surely is to help you discover life all the time. Now permanent implies continuing in the same state, which is duration, and duration is the time during which something exists. Now once we...

(MR. EINSTEIN): Excuse me, Mr. Muhammad, may I cut you off for a second?

(MR. MUHAMMAD): Sure, speak.

(MR. EINSTEIN): Before we move into a different topic, please let me ask you this: If certain individuals stored their religions, philosophies and spiritualism for another's beliefs, because they might not feel sound, is that not a sin to those of a higher nature?

(MR. MUHAMMAD): Those individuals who adopt theosophy, spiritualism, or hypnotism, may possess natures above some others who eschew their false beliefs, therefore, my contest is not with the individual, but with the false system. The Blackman here in the so-called wilderness, loves those people of stature. This is why I shall continue to labor and endure the strong currents of spirituality, the manifestations of which are health, purity, and self-immulation, must deepen human experience; until the beliefs of material existence are seen to be bold impositions; and sin, as well as disease, and death, give everlasting place to the scientific demonstration of Truth in mathematics, and to God, the Perfect Man, Allah.

(MR. BRANDON): We are told that the attainment of Wisdom and Power can only be acquired through study and knowledge.

I asked a member of the Nation Of Islam just where is the tribe of Shabazz and where did the founder of the group Wallace D. Fard came from?

Answer: When the moon broke off from the earth 66 trillion years ago the tribe of Shabazz was formed. Fard is from Mecca.

Unfortunately, these two answers are not correct. Minister Khaalis said Fard spent time in prison for raping a white girl. The NOI murdered Khaalis whole family for his revealtions. Khaalis now is doing life in prison. The truth was Fard was from Pakistan and Shabazz too.

When Alex Haley was digging deep for his Roots, which was inspired by Malcolm X friendship with Haley, a key word of the name of a musical instrument lead him to his hometown and homecoming in Africa. Whats in a name? A whole hell of a lot.

1. Shabazz comes from the famous Lal Shahbaz Qalander mosque in Pakistan. Fard had poor language skills and misspelled Shahbaz as Shabazz. No place on earth called Shabazz before Fard invented it except for Shahbaz.

2.Fard renames Elijah brother Kallat a small town in Pakistan. Kallat is a name of many men in Pakistan. All web, google searches links name with Pakistan.

3. Fard changed his name to Ghulam Ali, a commonly used name in Pakistan.

Are you kidding me?

I did better scholarship than this when I was in diapers.

Its easy to say "Fard had poor language skills and misspelled Shahbaz as Shabazz." But where is your proof? What account of him displaying bad language skills do you have?

Fard didn't change Elijah's name to Kallat. He changed it to Karrim. Muhammad, of course, changed it back to Elijah, so what's your point?

Where's your proof that Fard "changed his name to Ghulam Ali..."? Its funny that even though the FBI did an extensive instigation on him, that even they couldn't come up with that. Are you a better researcher than the entire FBI?

Shabazz is the Arabic form of the Aramawi word Shapazzi which literally means "noble" but also refers to descendants of Shapazz (Shabazz) one of our revered ancestors. It is recorded from very early in our history as a tribal\ethnic designation for our people alongside the name Aramawi (the high or exalted people) that later came to be called Hai Ko`ptah (those of the house of Ko`ptah), Copt or Egyptian. (e.g. - When Pharaoh Khufu prepared to summon a prisoner to be beheaded so the lector priest Djedi could demonstrate his magic and resurrect him, Djedi said,"Never so. Not an Aramawi Sovereign my Lord. It is forbidden to do so to the 'At Shapazziah (i.e. - the Noble Flock\Tribe of Shabazz)".

How can people join your tribe?

Membership in the Tribe of Shabazz is obtained through Aramawi African blood ancestry, by marriage, or by adoption. While the majority of our number have Aramawi (Copt/Egyptian) ancestry, we have some members with ancestry from other African Nations. We maintain an open door policy for considering individuals and families with African ancestry that seek a tribal home, who present themselves with acceptable spirit and intention and who are willing to walk with us on the ways of right and truth (Ma'at) as our God guides us to the fulfillment of our Divine Purpose.

A lot of the people I've seen in your tribe look like African Americans, how are you Egyptians?

There has been so much distortion and manipulation of the information consumed by the masses that this question could easily fill volumes. We begin by noting that the term "Egyptian", although it is perfectly acceptable to many Aramawi People, is actually a misnomer that resulted from the confusion and misinterpretation of early Greek "Travelers" visiting our homeland. In Pre-Ptolemaic days we did not call ourselves Egyptians. The terms we used to describe ourselves and each other varied and were based in our language and culture.

While many might have to expend some effort to recall the oft-forgotten fact that people from the area now known as Arabia first came to Kemet as invaders, doing so would reveal a presence of Africans (Egyptians\Nubians) on the banks of the Nile River for several thousand years. Contrary to the commonly held image of Egyptian People that has been widely represented in films, on television and other media, Egyptian People were and are "African" (e.g. - having black skin, thick lips, broad noses, wooly hair etc.) Even pre-Ptolemaic Greeks such as Herodotus who visited Egypt over 2000 years ago, noted the black skin and wooly hair of the "Egyptians" he found upon his arrival.

Just as individuals of Asian and European extraction have been assimilated into the Aramawi bloodline, so too have individuals who hail from various parts of Africa -- and for a longer period of time. What qualifies members of The Tribe of Shabazz is first and foremost their Aramawi ancestry which each member can trace back through his or her lineage.

Are you Muslims or are you associated with the Nation of Islam etc.?

Members of the The Tribe of Shabazz, namely the Aramawi People, have followed God since long before Islam, Christianity, or Judaism existed and we will continue to do so and in our traditional manner. Our use of teachings or instructions provided by teachers or leaders of our Tribe holding varying beliefs or foreign ideologies should not be taken to indicate support or endorsement of such belief or ideology. It is merely a recognition of that part of the teaching or instruction that corroborates our traditional knowledge, wisdom, and understanding as handed down from our ancestors.

The origins of the African American People traditionally known as Aramawi or more recently Copt, Egyptian, or Gypsy is traced to the creation of Atom, who is the Original Man. Our traditions inform us that our original home was deep in the East part of Africa in the region of the Great Lakes and Rwenzori Mountains frequently referred to as the Mountains of the Moon. Later we are known to have migrated to the land now called the Horn of Africa but known to us as Pwanit. From thence we moved on according to our Sacred Book to the land we were promised by our Lord Amun in the Nile Valley called by us Kemet but presently named Egypt. Similarities in the names of our people and certain institutional\ritual functions and offices corroborate the testimony of our Sacred Book that we are related to the Oromo People of Ethiopia and Kenya. Comparable similarities are known to exist between the Aramawi and other African Nations as well. Nevertheless it is an incontrovertible fact that the Aramawi originate in East Africa, have lived in Northeast Africa for many thousands of years (6,000 - 8,000+), and bear a not too distant relation to the Oromo People by reason of which to distinguish ourselves we called ourselves the Aramawi of Kemet. Our blood and seed has been dispersed and scattered and we have assimilated many individuals of diverse origins but we remain as we were in the beginning, Aramawi.

OROMO

Language: Oromiyah (Afaan Oromo): Cu****ic linguistic group

Population: 25 million (Ethiopia, Kenya)

Related: Sidama, Hadiya, Kambata, Afar, Ogadni

The largest Ethnic group in Ethiopia. Traditionally they migrated into modern day Ethiopia and from the South Settled and they started to integrate with their Amharic-speaking neighbors at least from the 17th century on. They speak an Afro-Asiatic language know as Afan Oromo. Most Oromo live in agricultural settlements, cultivating crops including wheat, barley, and coffee, and farming livestock, although some work in mines as there are gold, silver, and minerals to be found in Oromia. Historically they have meet with oppression at the hands of the Amhara group.

Monogamy is generally the rule, but in some areas polygamy is practiced, the number of wives being dependent upon the economic status of the husband. Polygamy is more common among the Islamic Oromo.

Eretcha Festival:2007
47,5% are Islamic, 30,5% Orthodox Christians,17,7% Protestants, but a minority follow the traditional Oromo religion. Reecha is an Oromo ritual which is celebrated at Bishoftu in Debre Zeit, Ethiopia.

Few Ethiopian traditional celebrations are as shrouded in mystery and color as Eretcha - the premier Oromo cultural celebration that marks the end of the rainy season in the Ethiopian highlands. A mixture of the Oromo traditional monotheist religion of Waqaa and in occasions elements of the Ethiopian orthodox church, Eretcha is celebrated every year towards the end of the month of September. Lake Hora in Debre Zeit is the most widely respected location of this celebration even though Eretcha is celebrated through out the country at different locations.

The ritual is performed over a 1 month period where a scared tree is anointed with gifts of food (kebe [butter], rice, etc). Followers and observers of this Oromo religion may also be Muslim and Christian and the religion is viewed as a culture more than a religion.Tradition has it that the Oromo people of Ethiopia annually give praise to the creator for the most valuable commodity on the Ethiopian highlands - water .

Putting grass and green leaves below the great Oak tree, the traditional coffee ceremony, a warrior , beautiful Oromo girls in the Arsi leather outfits, more Oromo girls carrying Adey Abeba, Lake Hora, young men dancing towards the end of the celebrations, the great Oak tree that has stood for many many years.

Among the most significant of the many Oromo clans are the warlike Tulama group, consisting of about 35 peoples, with traditions of caste and slaveholding, and the Wallo, consisting of about 25 peoples. However, today it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine differences between clans, particularly because of intermarriage.

SCRIPT

Unfortunately many Ormo have stopped using the indigenous African Ge'ez script after 1991 and began formally writing Oromoia in a latin format called called Qubee. Words are subsequently excessively long to accommodate for the inadequacies of latin. It is speculated that the motivation for the change was to create a distinctive cultural identify from the "semitic" groups who have historically suppressed their culture. Before the Ethiopian revolution in 1974 under Mengistu Ormo was banned from broadcast and print. There was a modern script know as the Saphalo script which was in use around the time of the Italian invasion. Arabic is also common among Muslim communities.

Hiking Through the Ruwenzori Mountains – What to See
While trekking through this eco-region in Africa, there is abundant and unusual vegetation to be seen. In the low elevations of the Virungas, forests of bamboo provide cover for mountain gorillas. Moving up the mountain slopes, there are giant heather plants covered in lichens and mosses.

Near to the snow line there are grassland full of giant Senecio and Lobelia plants, as well as abundant swamps. The landscape of bizarre giant Lobelias, towered over by black rock and white snow, can make one feel like one is on the set of a science fiction movie!

The unusual moorlands are quite rare in the world - found only in East and Central Africa, New Guinea, and the Northern Andes.

Giant Plant Life in the Ruwenzori Mountains
The Lobelia plant elsewhere in the world is lucky to reach a peak of less than a meter (1 foot). In the Ruwenzori area, however, the Lobelia can reach 6 meters (approximately 20 feet) in size. The mountain slopes are also covered by thick vegetation, including moss covered heath trees which can reach 12 meters (forty feet) in height. All sorts of flowers add beautiful dabs of color to the region.

maybe that brother you talked to wasn't so wrong after all......like I said the other day I am under the belief that such figures like Marcus Garvey, Noble Drew Ali, Fard Muhammad, Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm, etc are divine individuals who did serve a great purpose in our liberation......I have a healthy respect for our people (throughout the Diaspora) and their religions and forms of spirituality....

The Nation of Islam teaches "Supreme Wisdom".... This "Supreme Wisdom" is hidden within every piece of information that came out of Elijah's Mouth.... "Fard Muhammad" in itself is a symbolism to a higher teaching... From the story of his origins to the 120 questions and answers of the NGE... Everything is symbolism and nothing is truly literal not even the White Devil, Black God issues....

If you dig deep enough you will know that EVERYTHING that you have just said is a LITERAL mis-interpretation of something far deeper than what the public was ever taught about the NOI......

I asked a member of the Nation Of Islam just where is the tribe of Shabazz and where did the founder of the group Wallace D. Fard came from?

The problem here is taking the name of the tribe (people) and trying to attach it to a location, then using Alex Haley as a source, who is not very credible in this regards.

On another level, you really need to know the impact of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz had on many if us as a spiritual leader. Especially those of us as individuals and families who left the Nation of Islam with him and became MMI and OAAU. We are the Sons and Daughters of Malcolm. The Tribr of Malik El Shabazz. Our Last Imam.

Your point concerning a link to Pakistan, or that region, is close but not exact. It points is not to our origins but our spiritual connection in that region. To the form of al Islam that was brought to us in the West.
